Sunray your friend is right. We are here right now, it's quiet, one of their slowest Novemebers and begging is severe.

Two young guys from New York were mugged at knife point on the beach on Sunday night. Admittedly they were naive to walk on the beach at night and carry much of their holiday money. They had just flown in and were perhaps excited to have arrived.

They walked from Idle Away past the craft market and were mugged at knifepoint in that area around Rooms on the Beach which seems to attract a lot of agresive hustling who hang around all day.

Three men approached them, held knives to their throat and the guys valued their lives so handed over their wallets and passorts.

They reported it to the police, so far they have not found these thugs.

But yes things have gotten more aggressive in Negril, more desperate, and they are turning their anger on the tourists which is ridiculous because if we decide to not return to Negril they are the ones who will suffer.

Yes Bourbon Beach has closed.
